EUR/USD daily price chart

Sterling still remains weaker against a softening USD; however, EUR has gained bullish momentum and currently is reigning over 1.1400 region. GBP/USD is also experiencing a short-term bounce trading around 1.2878, yet it is unlikely to last long. A head and shoulder pattern is formulating from the late October and GBP might have been testing the August 15 low (1.2662) in near future.

Bottom Line

GBP/USD IG reports indicated that the retail traders are 68.8% net long and weekly changes are moving GBP towards a bearish bias. Additionally, it is very unlikely that Euro would be sustaining its current bullish movement and downside might open in the next week. GBP volatility should be considered during trading, as dwindling Brexit options are putting GBP price in a perilous positing.
